Job Interviews Are the New Speed Dating


The Graham Foundation is putting on an exhibit about the Dutch architectural firm BIG. Here's a model for one of their projects made from Legos


This was suppose to be a pic of a Lego lady that looked like Megan. Instead, it looks like a still from a Tool video...


Just the citizens of Legoland partaking in commerce


Another model of another project


Here's an apartment complex called "Mountain." Since the Netherlands are flat, they created this artificial mountain. It's a parking garage with slanted terraced apartments.


Here's from another apartment complex. The client for this project called these "Leonardo Di Caprio Balconies" because all the tenants can pretend to be the star of the movie "Titanic."


A rare sight: Siberian Camels. Went to the Lincoln Park Zoo to check on the animals.


Here's a Detroit Tiger.


I wonder how they catch these guys in the wild.


Here's John Cougar Mellencamp


Went bowling at the Waveland Bowl. Ronan decided to have his last meal before going on a diet. He'll be lucky if this just isn't his "last meal" judging by how much cheese is squirted on his meal.


Ronan either bowling or his arm went numb from the heartattack.


"What did we do in high school? Oh yeah, what about bowling?"


Megan throwing heat.


Call me "Capt'n Consistency"


Rockin' Ronan Carroll - 1st place - 3rd place - 1st place
Maniac Megan Bell - 3rd place - 1st place- 3rd place
Medium Mike Kraus - 2nd place - 2nd place - 2nd place


Megan and Ronan trekking through the snowhills of the Waveland Bowl


Party at the Murder House.


Matt - the drunkest looking sober man I know


Megan and I aren't too keen on the whole V-day thing. Although, we did go to Noon O Kabab and Nazareth Sweets on Kedzie just south of Lawrence (both highly suggested). But, we do enjoy a good deal. This box of chocolates are normally $15. But, a day after V-day, they are only $2. WHAT A DEAL! Maybe next x-mas will be celebrated on December 26th...


The Shedd Aquarium is FREE this week to all my unemployed and underemployed friends. Also, the Field Museum is FREE all month. Give me a call if you want to go. Here are some fish with a sea urchin.


The Shedd has done a great job with remodeling their exhibits. It's annoying how they are charging extra for their dolphin show and under water thing. But, what can you do?


Another urchin!!!


Moon Jelly Fish. The four circles in the jelly are stomachs!!!


Look at this guy. He looks like he should be a mascot or logo for some minor league baseball team!


Giant Amazon fish!


Why does the head of this turtle look like a Baby Ruth candy bar that's been stepped on? Evolution is amazing. That's right, I said evolution; not intelligent design.


I annoy my girlfriend


My passport photo from Eastern Europe

GO TIGERS!

Tigers are in the American League Championship Series! Hells yeah!


This is a fancy house I went to for a work event. Man, some people have too much money and have no idea what to do with it...


This is just their livingroom, which is just a fraction of the home.


Another part of the livingroom.


Look at this bed. Who sleeps on something like this? It's like a Gap store display.


The view from the fancy house.


Take Down the Bush Regime-The World Can't Wait protest that went by my office. What a great city I live in.


Look at these goons.


Nice!


Too bad I had to work.


Marching down Jackson toward Federal Plaza.


What are we in Iraq for again?


What a beautiful day for a march...


Man, there are more officers on Michigan Avenue than in Iraq. It's all about priorities...


They literally were bringing them in by the busloads.


Fall fashions for 2006. Combat gear is the new black.


Spooky ad near my apartment.


Here's Blue taking it easy.


I went to the Chicago Bears game against the Buffalo Bills. I don't even want to know how much the tickets cost.


I'm actually really surprised we got in considering how difficult it was to find people scalping tickets.


On my way to the 400 level.


To me, the old part of the stadium is still more impressive than the new...


Looking north inside Soldier Field.


Looking east inside Soldier Field.


"AND HEEEERRREEE ARE YOUR CHI-CAH-GO BEARS!


Looking south inside Soldier Field.


The Field Museum just north of Chicago Field.


At the Shedd Aquarium.


Check out these crabs!


A Kimoto Dragon.


The new wing of the aquarium where fish swim above you!


Look at this wall 'o fish!


Viaduct near my apartment.

What an awesome weeks its been. Another NFL game. A trip to the aquarium. Some really good food. Great weather. I've got great roommates and an apartment. Chicago is really the greatest city in the world!!!

xoxo,

Mike
